8760 Engineering, LLC is a mechanical energy efficiency firm based in St. Louis, Missouri. Although the company specializes in HVAC and Building Automation Systems on college and hospital campuses, it has done work for and in a variety of situations. This is a small business privately owned by the mid-market cap architecture firm Hastings & Chivetta, Inc.

History
8760 Engineering was created by Chris Chivetta, Gerald Williams, Eric Utterson, and Erich Blaufuss in 2009. The company's first offices were in Clayton, Missouri, but were quickly moved to Creve Coeur, Missouri in 2010.

Notable Projects
8760 Engineering handles mostly private business to business interactions, so does not receive a notable amount of press; however, it's proposals and work have garnered the attention of outsiders at times. One notable example was their work on Indiana University's Integrated Energy Master Plan in 2012. This plan detailed five recommendations: reduce energy use systematically, repair broken and inefficient utilities, prepare to transition away from their coal fueled power plant, design future work with an eye on energy efficiency, and get community involvement in energy conservation through social measures. These conclusions were reached after an analysis of 554 buildings on campus with the largest buildings receiving a very detailed proprietary analysis. An analysis was also conducted on the heating, cooling and utility infrastructure. Once all of the energy conservation measures (ECM) have been completed, the University expects to save close to $10 Million per year on energy cost and a drastic reduction in their carbon footprint to boot.
